or am I reading something wrong? It says for informational purposes, but then lists a price.

Could one of you in the UK call him and ask about purchasing a few, just to see what he says?

[stevelindley]

Yes he is & he says he took hours to download them & put them on one DVD priced at £18 ,I didn't do for the confrontation but just posed as an interested party ,he thinks £18 is a good price because of the time he put into downloading them "All in real time ,so 1 hour podcast takes an hour " also he says they are no longer available which also justiufies the price he's charging

You should report him to e bay

This is unfuckingbelievable

If this joker tries selling my podcasts I'll hunt the fucker down like a wild pig.

Hope you get it sorted Benja.

Thanks. That was just the information I was looking for.

Can't believe he's got the cheek to use your name as a sellers name
All his other stuff looks dodgy as well

[algoriddim]

I figured out who it is...

THE BEATLES LET IT BE + 64 BEATLES VIDEOS 2 DVD SET


This is a superb compilation for anyone interested in the band that arguably made the most significant contribution to music of all time.

On disc 1 is the movie 'Let It Be', a film of the Beatles at the time of their demise! However it is a hugely entertaining to watch as it contains many complete performances of songs from the Abbey Road and Let it be albums. This version has the complete rooftop concert. Extra features include outtakes and a documentary: 'The Making of Let It Be'.

On disc 2 is 64 Beatles videos. Some of the videos you may have seen and some maybe not but in either case, it's a great compilation to have all on the one disc taken from my own collection of Beatles archive. The quality on some of the videos is not crystal clear, given the age of the footage etc but all of them are certainly watchable and in most cases the picture is excellent. The video content of disc 2 is as follows;-

What is the fuss about ? Aren't podcasts themselves a form of piracy ? Some overly entrepreneurial activity from Bushgirl but an over-reaction above, surely ?

No podcasts are the same as internet radio.

No financial gain is made and it's getting the music out to the people. The same as the various "ahem" community radio stations that we all know and love.

Damn he's stopped selling the Beatles downloads just when I was about to get in touch with EMI

[rosko]

I was going to respond on the B&F board - something I haven't done in eons, but why bother. Douchebags.

Hi Everyone,

In the last 24 hours since I removed my ad for algoriddim's podcasts, the folllowing has happened:

1. I apologized to algoriddim for what I had done and have assured him that I will not do it again.
2. My email address has been bombarded with spam & junk mail
2. I have received around 40 phone calls from people wanting to 'help with a mortgage' or 'review my finances' or 'book a time to fit the shower'.
3. I have received the 'rod of correction' from ebay (though NOT on grounds of legality!)

In addition, the following has been written about me on this and the other thread:
Quote:
Jesus. What a scumbag


Quote:
He left his email there right, SPAM the F**ker !!!

Sign him up for every piece of crap on the net !


Quote:
incredible scu* bag* shi*


Quote:
that bushgirls a beeatch, lets f*ck her up!



In addition to those comments, I find the photo posted by Mick Sleeper on the other thread very unfunny, a complete over-reaction and I feel intimidated by it; I have three children and the thought of people turning up at my house - guns or not - is extremely worrying.

AND FOR WHAT??

If anyone does turn up at my house in relation to this, I will hold you, Mick Sleeper, responsible. I will then report the matter to the police, and I will tell them what I did to initiate such behaviour, and let them decide whether my ebay ad warrants such retaliation. If anyone does anything when/if they turn up at my house, I will travel to where you are, Mr Sleeper, and deal with you. Personally.

When I apologized earlier in this thread, I offered no excuses. I still deeply regret what I did not only because of the backlash, but because I have alienated myself from a forum that gave me a lot of pleasure.

I was not attempting to impersonate algoriddim.

I can see how some may have thought I was attempting to impersonate him, because I cut and pasted Benja's podcast information into my ad, which was written in the first person. Big mistake, that was stupid of me. However, anyone bothering to read further would have seen that I was paying homage to benja, calling him
Quote:
'a superb and knowledgable selector, obviously a great fan of reggae music, hopelessly (and joyously!) lost in roots riddim, cleverly mixing and riding all the well-known and quite a few obscure riddims.



I chose a variation on algoriddim's name (clearly spelt differently to his) because I thought it was a cool name when I opened my ebay account THREE MONTHS AGO. It only occurred to me to sell his podcasts less than a month ago, when friends complained that:

1. Some of the podcasts had been removed;
2. Some people who had downloaded them in .WAV or some other format could not convert them to MP3.

The legality of what I was doing remains UNCLEAR - I removed the ad because algoriddim (and numerous others) were very pissed off with what I did. It was not a big money-spinning enterprise. For the record, not a single person bought a single podcast.

As an aside, and seeing as so many of you are interested, I am not female. This was no devious attempt to manipulative males into helping me. I think the person who suggested that is being very patronising to males. I made no attempt to promote the suggestion that I was a woman, and just wrote and acted like a bloke. To verify that, just read my previous posts, though you could make better use of your time.

'We have a pirate in our midst!' Wow. Like none of you have ever done anything pirate-like. I have apologised. I have undertaken not to do it again. I regret what I have done. Will you leave me alone now, please?

Along with this from the "no requests for MP3s" thread

i was wondering if anyone else thought this behaviour was a little bit of bad show.


I don't think it's a bad show at all. I have made many requests for MP3s on this board (mostly for better quality recordings of tunes I already have) and have been really grateful when other BAFfers have kindly sent them to me. In return, I send hundreds of MP3s to other reggae/dub looneys like myself. I'm not a dealer, I'm not precious about vinyl and I don't give a stuff about copyright. I just love the music. I have spent thousands of pounds on my passion and have absolutely no qualms about swapping MP3s for eternity - although obviously I won't be doing it on this board anymore.
